Erin connected with Angela Coté last Fall at during the FranTech conference, where they immediately connected over their passion for innovation and supporting women. Angela is an expert in the franchise space in every sense of the word - her family owned a major Canadian franchise, she’s a multi-unit franchisee, and she now consults franchisors to help them achieve exponential growth.

3. What support systems does the franchisor have set up for franchisees?
4. How many transfers and/or closures has the franchise experienced and why?
5. What technology does the company have in place to create efficiencies (and ultimately profitability) for franchisees?
